Chapter 19 Foothold
PS: The first update has arrived! Ask for collections, ask for recommendation votes!
"Old village chief, we are from the Flying Fish Company! This is our general commander Luo Yuhua, and I am the deputy commander, named Long Feiyu! This is the company's political officer Li Decheng and logistics officer Zhao Yi. The tall and mighty man on the battlefield is the military officer Niu Meng! Long Yufei said with a smile!
"I've seen Luo Tongji!" Wu Yongxing, the old village chief, didn't expect that the leader of this gang was actually a woman, and he was a little surprised. However, as an old man, he suppressed his surprise in his heart. However, in his subconscious, he still thinks that Long Yufei is the real person in charge of these people.
"The old village chief doesn't have to be polite!" Luo Sangu said. She was deeply unfortunate about what happened to these Chinese in Wujia Village. When she first arrived in Mindanao, she encountered such a situation, which made her have a deeper understanding of the difficulties ahead, and at the same time, she hated these natives on the island even more! Although Flying Fish Island is a pirate group, they also tried not to do anything to their compatriots in their previous robberies. These damned natives, since they dare to make a move against the Chinese, it is naturally not a pity to die!
"The old village chief. We originally established ourselves on the other side of the South China Sea! However, with the continuous invasion of foreigners, the situation in the South China Sea is getting worse and worse! After discussion. We're just going to leave the South China Sea and find a new place to stand! Mindanao has fertile soil and abundant produce, and we are looking for a piece of land here! Long Yufei continued.
"Ahh So that's it! Wu Yongxing was shocked, and at the same time, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes. Among the Chinese villages in Mindanao, Wujia Village can only be regarded as a small and medium-sized village. As indigenous attacks on Chinese villages become more frequent, so does their situation. This time it was attacked by the Buena tribe, which caused the Jingzhuang of Wujia Village to lose about half. It can be predicted that the situation of Wujia Village will be even more difficult in the future. He was worried about how to solve the crisis that Wujia Village was about to face, and this person from the Flying Fish Company actually wanted to find a foothold in Mindanao, is this a lot of pie-in-the-sky things?
"Luo Tong, ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of Wujia Village, I would like to welcome the Flying Fish Company to Mindanao. Our Wujia Village is close to the sea, and at the same time on the edge of the Agusang River, with convenient transportation and irrigation! There is a lot of fertile land and land to be cultivated nearby! I hope that Flying Fish can gain a foothold here! If the ruler doesn't dislike it, our Wujiacun is willing to join the Flying Fish Company! The ancestors of our Wujia Village have come here since more than 200 years ago, and have been living until now, we can provide convenience for the Flying Fish Company! Wu Yongxing said excitedly. After finishing speaking, he looked at Luo Sangu and Long Yufei worriedly, as if he was afraid that they would be rejected! For Wujiacun, if Feiyu Company can accept them, this is undoubtedly the best choice. In this chaotic era, and at the same time, the situation is becoming more and more difficult, there is a strong force to ensure that we can survive!
Long Yufei was stunned for a moment, and then became happy. The people of Wujia Village took the initiative to join the Flying Fish Company, which is exactly what he wanted! The people of Flying Fish were all pirates before and were not familiar with the situation in Mindanao, and with the help of the Ground Snakes, they would have spent less time establishing themselves here! In addition, there are now seven or eight hundred people in Wujia Village, of which more than two hundred are strong men who can be incorporated into the army. Together with the other pirates on Flying Fish Island, it is almost possible to form two more companies, increasing the number of their army by a generation! As for combat skills and the like, they can also be compensated for by training! When the Exocet was first snatched, it was loaded with 500 Burka-style rifles, which was enough to arm the recruits. The only thing that worries me is the leadership. The people of Wujiacun joining the Flying Fish Company will certainly increase the strength of the Flying Fish Company, but it will also have a certain impact on the Flying Fish Company!
"Old village chief, Wujiacun has joined the Flying Fish Company, this is no problem! However, we have one condition! Long Yufei said.
"Lord Commander, if there are any conditions, as long as it can be done, we will never refuse!" Wu Yongxing said calmly.
"Old village chief, Ming people don't say dark words! Wujiacun joins Flying Fish Company, that is our own people! However, everyone who joins the Flying Fish Company must follow our orders! If there is a situation of disobedience, it will definitely not be spared! Long Yufei said.
Wu Yongxing, the old village head, thought about it for a while, and then said: "Lord Commander, there is no problem with this!" But I hope that Feiyu Company can treat all the people of Wujia Village equally! ”
"Old village chief, I want you to promise that we will never treat each other differently! Overseas Chinese are all a family, everyone's life is not easy, we can only survive better if we are united! Long Yufei said.
"That's what Lord Commander said!" After getting Long Yufei's assurance, Wu Yongxing relieved himself!
Subsequently, Wu Yongxing was anxious about the old and young people in Wujia Village, and announced to them in public that from today onwards, Wujia Village as a whole will join the Flying Fish Company, and all the villagers of Wujia Village must obey the orders of the Flying Fish Company. If anyone is against it, you can quit now!
The words of the old village chief Wu Yongxing caused an uproar. However, most people have no resistance to joining Flying Fish! Chinese have always been kind, and if Wujia Village hadn't been helped by the Flying Fish Company this time, I am afraid that it would have been destroyed by the natives long ago! Moreover, after joining the Flying Fish Company, it also means that they can be protected by the Flying Fish Company. The Flying Fish Company is so strong that the powerful Buena tribe was defeated easily! In this way, their safety is guaranteed. When Long Yufei stood up on behalf of the Flying Fish Company and assured that all those who joined the Flying Fish Company would be protected by the Flying Fish Company and would definitely be treated equally. Of the more than 700 people in Wujia Village, not a single person raised an objection!
"Lord Commander, can we join the army of the Flying Fish Company?" Wu Daniu, the son of the old village chief Wu Yongxing, asked.
"Of course! Then we will expand the size of the army, and the personnel will be selected from the best of Wujia Village! Long Yufei said.
"Can you give us muskets?" Someone went on to ask. The scene of the soldiers of the Flying Fish Company manipulating muskets and easily slaughtering those natives not only shocked the adult men in Wujia Village, but also made them envious. If they could use these muskets as well, they might be able to defeat the natives!
"Of course! Once you join the Exocet army, muskets will become a basic loadout! However, it is not easy to become a qualified musketeer, you have to go through rigorous training! I told you in advance that the army training of the Flying Fish Company is very hard, and if you can't endure the hardships, it's better to give up as soon as possible! Long Yufei said.
"Don't worry, Lord Commander, the people of our Wujia Village are definitely not a bad breed! No matter how great the suffering, we can bear it, as long as we can kill all the natives in the future and avenge the dead people! Wu Daniu said with red eyes.
"That's right! We are not afraid of hardship, we will join the army and kill all those natives! The men of Wujia Village also shouted!
In this regard, Long Yufei is very satisfied, which means that the people's hearts are available! It seems that Flying Fish's first steps to gain a foothold in Mindanao were a success! Although the road ahead is still bumpy, Long Yufei believes that even if there are more difficulties, they will definitely be able to overcome them!
"Lord Commander! What about the natives who were caught? Why don't you kill all these beasts, but stay behind? Someone asked. Wujia Village was attacked by these natives, and there were many casualties, which made the villagers have great resentment against these natives!
"These natives are killed like this, it's too cheap for them! In the future, they will be used as slaves! In the future, we will have to reclaim large tracts of land, build roads and houses, and open mines, all of which will require sufficient labor! By using these natives directly as cattle, they are being made to atone for the crimes they have committed! Long Yufei explained!
Although, there are still many villagers in Wujia Village who are eager to kill all these natives to avenge their dead relatives. However, Long Yufei's explanation was also recognized by them. More importantly, the strong strength of the Flying Fish Company's army made these villagers dare not question it anymore!
Nearly 500 natives were captured in this battle, and this is still intact. Those who were wounded, especially those who were seriously injured, had already been killed by a single knife. Medicines are precious, and Flying Fish will not waste them on these natives. As for slaves, there are many slaves in Mindanao, and when everything is on track, you can have as many slaves as you want!
Next, the residents of Flying Fish Island also got off the boat one after another, and cooperated with the people of Wujia Village to start cleaning the battlefield, treating the wounded, and burying the dead! The captive natives were also forced to work, and the people of Wujia Village could speak the local language of Mindanao, so there was no problem communicating with these natives. Under the threat of guns and whips, these natives worked honestly. Especially after a few cheating and slippery natives were beheaded on the spot, the rest of the natives worked even harder, almost using their strength to eat milk!
Thanks to everyone's cooperation, by the end of the evening, the battlefield had been cleaned! The fence that had been torn down by the natives had also undergone simple repairs. The residents of Flying Fish Island were also invited to their homes to rest by the people of Wujia Village. As for building a new house, it's the next step! Wujia Village has become the foothold for the pirates of Flying Fish Island to enter Mindanao!
